headquarters, i'm paris faulkner. a large part of of the nation is expected to get hit with some of the coldest temperatures we've seen in years. the dangerous deep freeze is causing major concerns even in places that are used to experiencing cold weather. minnesota's governor is already closing down schools for monday and that is still two days away. temperatures are expected to dip well below zero. and in the negative teens in some northern cities. and that same arctic air also expected to head to the east coast by tuesday. brian yennis is live in new york's central park with more. >> reporter: hi, paris, well, here in central park the temperature is about 25 degrees, considering that last night the temperature felt about negative two degrees in central park. now, here we're learning about the deep freeze. the national weather service says parts of the great lakes and northern plains could

actually feel temperatures with wind chills, ready for this? at minus 50 degrees. now, some forecasters are calling this storm the polar vortex. and it is for a reason. they're saying a lot of this cold air is actually coming from the north pole, which is an unusual weather phenomenon. you are now looking, if you look at this now, a current wind chill map that shows that right now the wind chill in new york is about 19 degrees. minneapolis, about negative four, denver, nine degrees. but by sunday night, temperatures in minnesota, wisconsin, north dakota, are expected to reach down to minus 30 degrees. that is a realtime temperature as the frigid air moves through the great lakes and midwest. and it will feel like minus 50 with the wind chill in some spots. it is enough to give anybody frost bite or hypothermia in less than ten minutes. >> this is the kind of temperature that we have not seen in decades, this kind of temperature, minus 14 degrees

will put tremendous amount of stress on your heart and respiratory system. and you know, you're losing a lot of heat from your skin which is the biggest organ in our body. the other part where you lose a lot of heat is from your respiratory, your breathing, you're changing good, warm air with really freezing cold air. >> reporter: again, this will start saturday night. but by sunday and into monday, the high on monday in chicago is going to be minus 11. the high in minneapolis, minnesota, that is the high on monday, minus 15 degrees. now, again, the storm is going to reach the mid-atlantic and much of the northeast by tuesday. but the temperatures will be a modest 14-degree high here in new york city, which compared to the lows. the highs we're talking about is pretty well off. in central indiana, folks are stocking up for more snow before the freeze, as much supplies the essentials, milk, bread, eggs getting ready for more snow.

the bone-chilling temperatures, indianapolis will see a high of negative 11 on monday. news of the bone-chilling cold coming a day after people shovelled their way out of the first winter snowstorm. the snow falling in massachusetts, at least 16 deaths caused by the storm. thousands of flight cancellations. of course, this is major news for the nfl. big playoff games today. in philadelphia, the temperature being 20 degrees. tomorrow in green bay it could reach minus seven degrees, which would make it the third coldest nfl game in history. paris? >> brian, thank you very much, and speaking of cold, but a whole different situation. the u.s. coast guard now has been called to the rescue and is on its way. and of course it is to assist the ships that have been stuck in antarctica, we have been on this story for quite a while. the american cutter, polar star,

is leaving and trying to help a russian ship stranded. and the chinese icebreaker which was stranded. now, remember, they got the passengers off the boat and neither boat could get out of there. they took the passengers by helicopter, now the boats are stuck in ice. the only country that hadn't gotten it done, and america is on its way. and barbara bush, former first lady now resting at home. a houston hospital discharged her. it happened a short time ago. she was treated for pneumonia for nearly a week. doctors say she responded to medication. in a statement, mrs. bush, 88 years old, thanked her doctors and nurses for her care. and on monday, the nation's longest married first couple will celebrate their 69th wedding anniversary, god bless them. and in an exclusive

interview with "hannity" last night, rand paul says he is in the process of collecting signatures for a massive class action lawsuit over the nsa issue in the country. >> paris, if you have a cell phone, then senator rand paul thinks you're eligible for the later. former attorney general ken cuccinelli is hoping to eventually gain class action status in his bid to prevent the nsa's data collection. >> the government should only look at your visa bill or phone bill if they think it is specific to you or that you have committed a crime. >> further, attorney barry sanders has questions for the office. has the nsa or anyone else spied

on the american elected officials. these calls for this issue come just ahead of president obama's possible reforms to the way the nsa does business. >> i'm going to make a pretty definitive statement in january, where i'll be able to say here are the recommendations that we think make sense. here are ones we think are promising but still need to be refined further. >> but the obama administration is still fighting to keep collecting americans' phone records. on friday, the court said they can continue the data collection, and on friday, they appealed the judge's december ruling which found the nsa's practices likely do violate the constitution. pari paris? >> peter, thank you. the state department is now keeping a close eye on the deteriorating situation inside iraq, following a stunning victory for militants linked to al-qaeda. they're gaining ground. that terror group reportedly

capturing the western city of fallujah, and that is raising their flag over the building. now, senator lindsey graham is critical of the obama administration which pulled our troops back in 2011. during the iraq war, the forces fought some of their toughest battles in the city, and gaining control of the city. we're also gaining video of the fighting going on in fallujah. the army waging a battle with al-qaeda as it tries to win back the city. reports of dozens killed in the fresh fighting. and new developments on trying to get work done. kerry is trying to nudge them closer to a peace agreement that would establish a palestinian state, kerry is headed back with more talks with israeli

president netanyahu. >> we are working with great intensity, with serious purpose, with a commitment to trying to resolve this conflict that has gone on for many years. and which i think presents us now with the possibility of trying to find a framework agreement. >> well, an agreement, we're told, is not likely on this trip. but this is kerry's tenth attempt to seal a deal since being sworn in as secretary of state. after a close vote, boeing workers have approved a contract extension. there was emotional reaction after it was announced the contract passed by 51%. the machinist's union's local leadership had called on workers to oppose the deal. and boeing refused to leave if

an agreement was not reached. dominic di-natale has more. >> reporter: hey, paris, perhaps no surprise, in the end it came down to a wafer-thin yes, paris, by a mere 600 votes, the boeing triple 7 x will be built in puget sound. boeing had demanded a $9 billion extra tax break and a new contract with the machinist's union that would move workers weigh from the traditional pensionin pensi pensions. iam, which is the head of the union, called for the members to reject the move if the long beach, california, was tipped as a possible site. well, after the ballot, workers clearly felt mixed about the deal. take a listen, paris? >> i think it is worth the gamble, all right here in the puget sound. >> i think the main thing is to try to keep boeing in this local area and keep jobs going and

benefits, a larger community. >> at a time when boeing is doing very well financially, they're asking our members to make serious financial concessions. >> well, machinists officials are saying that no member had liked to vote, nor did they enjoy the position they were put in by boeing, some did not like the pension packages, but some will likely see the base salaries rise above the $100,000 mark. they will be responsible for 10,000 jobs and as part of this deal, paris, workers may not be able to strike until 2024, no doubt, boeing satisfied by that news, considered all the problems are being caused by this wage discussion. >> right, it is interesting to see the countries doing business with the huge unions, saying you know what? we can go up against the unions if we want to, just like boeing,

dominic, thank you very much. and brand-new reaction to the dismal rollout of obamacare, now, the white house is considering a new rollout of federal oversight. do we need more federal government in our lives after the website was messed up? and a look at the music legend, a look at the songs that phil everly gave our population. >> wake up little susie ♪ ♪ ♪ wake up ♪ ♪ [ bottle ] okay, listen up! i'm here to get the lady of the house back on her feet.

after the botched obamacare rollout, and the website in many areas, new are concerned about implementing the federal marketplace. the obama administration is dedicated to working with a new

tech support to help. molly henneberg has more. >> reporter: the "the wall street journal" reports this is in response to the disastrous obamacare rollout at a time when president obama is trying to convince americans that the government can run health care and other big projects, and that obamacare can make health care more efficient and cheaper. but not everybody believes that a big tech agency is the way to go. >> i'm not one to think that the way to fix the bureaucratic agency is to hire more bureaucracy. >> the government is having difficult attracting the best and brightest in the tech sector and therefore could be falling behind on what it can do with the technology. one spokesperson said we don't

have enough people inside of government to make good, sound technology decisions. this gap between the public sector and private sector has really affected their knowledge. the obama administration is apparently considering other tech fixes, as well, including having government tech specialists rotate through private sector companies. also, streamlining the federal hiring process so that it doesn't take months and months to fill one job, because that is time that allows the private companies to snap up the best candidates. paris? >> well, i wasn't aware that the slowdowns in government were only in the tech division. from what i hear, a lot of it is running slowly. let's bring in john mccormick. john, you heard my take on it. government doesn't always run as quickly as it would like to. so the white house doing this, is it crafting another layer of bureaucracy just to deal with technology? >> that may be the case, you know, they had three years and hundreds of millions to build a

website. and it may have been a complicated website. but even by government standards that should have been enough time and money to actually get something functioning. the government has been able to build other websites for social security. the medicare prescription drug program, they have had some glitches. but nothing like the catastrophic failure we've seen with healthcare.gov. it remains to be seen, whether one agency overseeing all the projects will help to streamline or make it more difficult. but the obama administration is definitely looking for problems, to cast blame and this is what they're bringing up so far. >> you brought this up, the casting blame. i would ask why would you handle it this way because you could just deal with the website. >> yeah, i mean, it speaks to the continued problems, they said they would have an amazon-like experience that people could go on line and within a few minutes just pick

out a health insurance plan. right now they're saying the website is not even working, that you can't add a baby. you have to go through a bureaucratic process. if amazon worked like that, they wouldn't exist, the government is getting subsidies, and if they fine you, some have nowhere else to go. >> and adding children is a life change, right? those monumental life change that the government likes to keep up with anyway. and in fact, if you didn't declare the life changes before december 31st, like you had a baby, got married, got a promotion, now it is hard to add a baby on the plan. it doesn't make sense. >> no, definitely, this is important in calculating how much the subsidies will effect them. people are just having a really big problem with this website continually. >> you know, i don't want to belittle it, but it seems like

small potatoes when you compare it to this headline. the affordable care act health care could open the door for more people to go to the emergency room which was an expense that we were told that obama in the study out of oregon where there was a randomized study, it turns out that -- >> i'm going to have to step in and i hate to do this. we'll be right back in ten seconds. i apologize. olive garden's signature favorites now just ten dolrs weeknights are for favorites. including everyone's favorite

fettuccine alfredo and our classic lasagna. plus unlimited soup or salad, and warm breadsticks signature favorites now just ten dollars, monday through thursday, at olive garden.

running ouch -- out of time

is a peeve of mine. so he brought him back. i had just asked you about the situation that the "wall street journal" is reporting on, that obamacare could lead more people to go to the emergency room, which is expensive. your response? >> well, a new study out of oregon has shown that increased access to medicaid would actually increase emergency room visits by 40%. many of these cases unnecessary, costly emergency room visits by medicaid patients that could have been treated in the noner sector. as you might recall, president obama said that one of the main rationales for expanding medicaid was that it would cut down these costly visits and end up saving us money. it seems actually what they've done is expanded a program without really reforming it and creating the correct incentives to provide quality care to the poor. >> what about going forward? are people going to be encouraged, go back to your regular doctor? will we see those campaign ads come out now? i say campaign 'cause that's what it's like trying to get

young people to sign up. >> medicaid is in serious need of reform right now. one third of doctors nationwide are not -- we're also seeing problems where adding to the federal budget and creating more bigger and bigger deficits as time goes on. it's in need of reform and doesn't seem like the affordable care act -- another study has shown there hasn't been improved health care. that's a real problem fort administration. >> the john, we appreciate you sticking through the commercial break. always good to see you. thanks. >> thank you. phil everly, one half of the everly brothers duo, has decide. his family says he passed away at hospital of chronic object strucktive pulmonary disease. he and his brother molded rock'n'roll with their harmony in the 19 50s and '60s and in a statement don said he experienced an extreme moment.

phil everly was 74 years old. we are following that breaking news on a brain that has landed on a busy expressway in new york city. we understand injuries, but nothing major. we'll have fresh pictures for you, video and the very latest on that situation and more on the impending deep freeze that the nation is already starting to feel as it moves across from the midwest to the east coast. millions of people are going to suffer with this one. tough conditions. i'll be back, 7:00 p.m. eastern with the fox report. in about eight seconds, my friends on "the five" will be right with you.

>> dominated the world. it became famous for its military. and for having rule of law. and a stable currency. people could rely on. they built beautiful buildings, roads, aquaeductus, art and literature. rome flourished for more than 200 years in relative peace and prosperity. but then it crumbled. why? political leaders grab power. that power turned many into tyrants who indulged in debouchery and corruption. they raised taxes to pay for war and increased regulations. when the masses complained, they tried to please
